Alterations of peritoneal transport characteristics in dialysis patients with ultrafiltration failure: tissue and capillary components.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ultrafiltration failure (UFF) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is due to altered peritoneal transport properties leading to reduced capacity to remove excess water. Here, with the aim to establish the role of local alterations of the two major transport barriers, peritoneal tissue and capillary wall, we investigate changes in overall peritoneal transport characteristics in UFF patients in relation to corresponding local alterations of peritoneal tissue and capillary wall transport properties.

Methods

Six-hour dwell studies using 3.86% glucose solutions and radioisotopically labelled serum albumin added to dialysate as a volume marker were analysed in 31 continuous ambulatory PD patients, 20 with normal ultrafiltration (NUF) and 11 with UFF. For each patient, the physiologically based parameters were evaluated for both transport barriers using the spatially distributed approach based on the individual intraperitoneal profiles of volume and concentrations of glucose, sodium, urea and creatinine.

Results

UFF patients as compared with NUF patients had increased solute diffusivity in both barriers, peritoneal tissue and capillary wall, decreased tissue hydraulic conductivity and increased local lymphatic absorption and functional decrease in the fraction of the ultra-small pores. This resulted in altered distribution of fluid and solutes in the peritoneal tissue, and decreased penetration depths of fluid and solutes into the tissue in UFF patients.

Conclusions

Mathematical modelling using a spatially distributed approach for the description of clinical data suggests that alterations both in the capillary wall and in the tissue barrier contribute to UFF through their effect on transport and distribution of solutes and fluid within the tissue.

Project description:Chronic exposure to biological incompatibility of peritoneal dialysis solution is one of the principal causes of ultrafiltration failure (UF). However, the changes of peritoneal cell composition and molecular mechanism of peritoneal microenvironment after long-term PD are unclear. Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed to profile cell composition and transcriptome characteristics in effluent obtained from patients undergoing PD with short vintage (SV), long vintage without ultrafiltration failure (LV_NOT_UF), and long vintage with ultrafiltration failure (LV_UF). A total of 6 SV patients, 6 LV_NOT_UF patients, and 4 LV_UF patients were enrolled. The median PD duration of the three groups were 5 months (range:1.0–6.0 months), 137 months (range: 92–189 months) and 132 months (range: 120–161 months), with no significant differences in age (38.3 ± 21.5 years, 45.7 ± 10.6 years and 41.0 ± 16.7 years, P>0.05) and gender (male%: 33.3%, 50.0% and 25.0%, P>0.05). scRNA-seq data annotated 8 main cell types including epithelial-like mesothelial cells (E-MCs), mesenchymal-like mesothelial cells (M-MCs), fibroblast, plasma B cells, conventional dendritic cells, plasmacytoid dendritic cells, natural killer T cells, and myeloid cells. LV_UF patients showed higher proportion of E-MCs, which exhibited activated autophagy and had properties of both anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory, and neutrophil- and autophagy-related DEGs of E-MCs were upregulated in the LV_UF group. In contrast, the M-MCs and the AQP1 expression in the peritoneal mesenchyme were reduced in the LV_UF group compared to the other groups. The neutrophils in PD effluent were elevated in the LV_UF group, while the M2-like MRC1-macrophages gradually decreased from the SV, LV_NOT_UF to LV_UF group. Compared with the LV_NOT_UF group, the upregulated DEGs of monocytes/macrophages in the LV_UF group not only involved in pro-inflammatory response, but also promoted EMT progress. Additionally, neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages both interacted with MCs. Our study uncovers peritoneal different individual cell populations and cellular functions in different stages of PD which indicates the dynamic changes of microenvironments of peritoneal membrane. These findings provide new insights into the novel roles of mesothelial cells and inflammatory cells in UF.

Project description:BackgroundIt has been noticed for years that ultrafiltration (UF) is important for survival in peritoneal dialysis. On the other hand, precise and convenient UF measurement suitable for patient daily practice is not as straight forward as it is to measure UF in the lab. Both overfill and flush before fill used to be source of measurement error for clinical practice. However, controversy finding around UF in peritoneal dialysis still exists in some situation. The current study was to understand the difference between clinical measured UF and real UF. The effect of evaporation and specific gravity in clinical UF measurement were tested in the study.MethodsFour different brands of dialysate were purchased from the market. The freshest dialysate available in the market were intentionally picked. The bags were all 2 L, 2.5% dextrose and traditional lactate buffered PD solution. They were stored in four different conditions with controlled temperature and humidity. The bags were weighted at baseline, 6 months and 12 months of storage. Specific gravity was measured in mixed 24 h drainage dialysate from 261 CAPD patients when they come for their routine solute clearance test.ResultsThere was significant difference in dialysate bag weight at baseline between brands. The weight declined significantly after 12 month's storage. The weight loss was greater in higher temperature and lower humidity. The dialysate in non-PVC package lose less weight than PVC package. The specific gravity of dialysate drainage was significantly higher than pure water and it was related to dialysate protein concentration.ConclusionStorage condition and duration, as well as the type of dialysate package have significant impact in dialysate bag weight before use. Evaporation is likely to be the reason behind. The fact that specific gravity of dialysate drainage is higher than 1 g/ml overestimates UF in manual exchanges, which contributes to systemic measurement error of ultrafiltration in CAPD.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03864120 (March 8, 2019) (Understand the Difference Between Clinical Measured Ultrafiltration and Real Ultrafiltration).

Project description:Background and objectivesTechnique failure is a major limitation of peritoneal dialysis. Our study aimed to identify center- and patient-level predictors of peritoneal dialysis technique failure.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsAll patients on incident peritoneal dialysis in Australia from 2004 to 2014 were included in the study using data from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry. Center- and patient-level characteristics associated with technique failure were evaluated using Cox shared frailty models. Death-censored technique failure and cause-specific technique failure were analyzed as secondary outcomes.ResultsThe study included 9362 patients from 51 centers in Australia. The technique failure rate was 0.35 (95% confidence interval, 0.34 to 0.36) episodes per patient-year, with a sevenfold variation across centers that was mainly associated with center-level characteristics. Technique failure was significantly less likely in centers with larger proportions of patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (>29%; adjusted hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval, 0.73 to 0.94) and more likely in smaller centers (<16 new patients per year; adjusted hazard ratio, 1.10; 95% confidence interval, 1.00 to 1.21) and centers with lower proportions of patients achieving target baseline serum phosphate levels (<40%; adjusted hazard ratio, 1.15; 95% confidence interval, 1.03 to 1.29). Similar results were observed for death-censored technique failure, except that center target phosphate achievement was not significantly associated. Technique failure due to infection, social reasons, mechanical causes, or death was variably associated with center size, proportion of patients on peritoneal dialysis, and/or target phosphate achievement, automated peritoneal dialysis exposure, icodextrin use, and antifungal use. The variation of hazards of technique failure across centers was reduced by 28% after adjusting for patient-specific factors and an additional 53% after adding center-specific factors.ConclusionsTechnique failure varies widely across centers in Australia. A significant proportion of this variation is related to potentially modifiable center characteristics, including peritoneal dialysis center size, proportion of patients on peritoneal dialysis, and proportion of patients on peritoneal dialysis achieving target phosphate level.
